Help me (a trans man) escape Florida

My name is Wren Coulter. I’m a queer trans man living in Orlando, FL. I’m an artist and founder of Transfix Magazine. Due to the onslaught of anti-trans sentiment, it is no longer safe for me to live in my home state. While I am devastated leaving behind the place I grew up, I must move to a safer place so that I can continue expanding my community work without being impeded by the threat of emotional or physical violence done to me by the state.

I love being trans. I love my trans siblings. If I believe in such things as callings, I believe my calling is to use my skills to create connection within the community. To give them a place to see themselves, and see each other. That is why I started Transfix. It’s also why I have to leave.

It has taken a huge emotional and mental toll on me to live here in a state full of government officials and people that want to see that I no longer exist or, at the very least, no longer have access to my healthcare. My stress is constant and causing me to get sick often, on top of my immune system issues I already have. I am depressed and anxious all the time. I work retail full time in addition to my creative work - I have just enough money to cover all my current bills and not enough to escape.

I have been terrified that I will be stuck here. That I won’t be able to leave. That the life I want for myself is not possible. But I know that once I am moved I will thrive and I will help my community thrive alongside me. Survival won’t be so hard. I just need help getting there.

That’s why I’m asking for help from you. If you enjoy my work at all, if you believe in my aspirations for community work, if you want to see more from me, if you want to support me as a friend, as my family, please consider donating to this fund. Literally anything will help - no amount is too small. If you cannot afford to donate, please share this as far as you can.

The Transfix team is celebrating Earth Week! Transness (though this is a new word) is a natural phenomenon that has existed over the course of all history in every corner of the world. This week we celebrate our connection to each other, to the earth, to our ancestors. Through our commitment to anti-capitalist and anti-AI principles, we hope to do our own part in creating a safer and healthier world. The liberation of our community is intertwined like ancient roots with the fight for environmental justice in ALL communities. Keep an eye out as we highlight some trans-led environmental initiatives and works to explore!
